    All last month we've had hurricane swell in the water. And I've spent a lot of time at the beach. You'll want to cry

    we are going to get one of the off-road hiker trailers so I don’t really need a rtt or a rack.

    Same here. That weight up top makes me scared. But I really want a RTT for comfort. Ground tent this weekend sucked, a lot.

    Have the 4 person version of your tent. Would've bought a tent cot for this trip but had a friend along so needed the room. Last time I was there, I slept in a RTT and didn't realize how rocky the ground was. Definitely need to get a little inflatable pad.

    I did after the sleeping pills. Everything just hurts a little.

    I didn't realize how easier it felt to wheel after wheeling without the RTT on top. Much less puckering

    RTT would be fine for surf trips but then again, the ground is sandy and soft for those.

    Hammocks not bad either. Unless there's two people. That sucks for a whole night

    Before I had the rtt I used a cot and it was great. I used a tent cot for a week once and it was really nice they just don't fold up that small.

    I bring mine everywhere. Backpacked through Europe with it. Easy to set up and easy to pass out in

    Love my Eno. I feel as most hammock, brand to brand, are close enough to eachother but there straps are the easiest. Plenty of notches to make it as long/short as you may need
